International titles dominated the Nigerian box office during the November 14–16 weekend, pushing local films down the chart.

 

Leading the pack was Lionsgate’s heist threequel Now You See Me 3, which opened with ₦34.2 million, according to data from the Nigerian Box Office.

 

In second place was Predator: Badlands, earning ₦18.7 million in its second weekend, a 52% drop from its ₦38 million debut, bringing its two-week cumulative total to ₦78.7 million. Glen Powell’s dystopian action-thriller The Running Man followed with a ₦14.7 million debut.
